Wow, I just drove from Moose Jaw to Ottawa 27kish km I have been putting off my 48k km service because the dealer in Regina is not so hot and had planned to have the car serviced in Ottawa. I pulled into Ottawa and the check engine light came on followed by the the AT light and the tranny kicked me down to 1st and I was only able to idle. Slowly pulled off the road and restarted the car it seemed fine except for the check engine light.
So as planned I brought the car in the same day and I was told the throttle body had failed? The part wasn't in but would arrive in a few days. But the Service Manager said the car was safe to drive.....? I am totally perplexed the problem won't reoccur. I asked what went wrong and got the royal run around. Anyways the part is being replaced next week and I wanted to get a feel for how far I shold push this in terms of fiding out what went wrong.
On another note I was told my tranny needed a flush for 180 dollars!!!! Is this necessary? The fluid is brown I assume this is from the wearing in?
Laslty in the unethical dealer file. I was called and told a wheel stud had to be replaced, cost 180 not under warranty. I asked if my car arrived with all 5 lug nuts on each wheel. Dealer tells me to standby, I receievd a call 30 minutes later and was told the repair would be covered, the mechanic broke it. Are you kidding me, my wife would have just paid it not thinking twice. Not to happy, I waited until I was back in Ottawa to get my car serviced I guess all Mazda dealers are created equal.
